Dorothy Roberts Royalty gave a wonderful talk about Nobscot, where the railroad folks lived and worked on the railroad. Our theme was about the early railroad days and the impact that it had on our community. Judy Bivings and Jolene Martens did a wonderful job of decorating and making this banquet such a success. It was really enjoyed by everyone. Thanks to everyone who helped with our banquet and to Arnie and Donna Lee at Red's Grocery for a delicious meal.
See you next year!
